"Mother, what are you talking about! If I hadn't been sick before, wouldn't Boyi and I have been married long ago? Just relax! Ji Zong and Boyi were best brothers when he was alive. He would definitely treat you and father as his own parents.
Wu Ju frowned and thought about it carefully.
She thought what Shumei said made sense. There was no hope for Li Wencai's marriage. Instead of helping Shumei find a foreigner, it would be better to let Shumei marry Boyi.
At least Boyi knew everything about him. Just like Shumei said, for Ji Zong's sake, he didn't dare to neglect himself.
Besides, Zhang Xiaoqin’s matter is what gives her the most headache right now. She doesn’t have the energy to care about Shumei’s affairs.
"Alright! I don't care about your own affairs. You can be friends with whoever you want. Now you just need to go with me to Murakami to get the notarization done."
Wu Ju actually agreed. Shumei was so happy that she agreed to go to the village with Wu Ju to do the notarization.
After coming out of the village, Wu Ju held the agreement notarized, signed and stamped by the village chief and secretary, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Although she didn't recognize many of the words on the agreement, she still recognized the one hundred yuan, and she was happy just because of that number.
"Mother, now you should be relieved, right?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Wu Ju nodded in response, but her eyes were fixed on the agreement.
Really, you can't even read, how can you see a flower by looking at it like this?
Shumei muttered to herself.
"Mom, please watch the road. It's dark, don't fall." Shumei carefully held the flashlight with one hand and grabbed Wu Ju's arm with the other. She was worried when she saw Wu Ju walking without looking at the road.
Wu Ju finally paid attention to her steps and took a big step over the pit. She carefully folded the agreement and put it in her pocket.
They have no legal awareness and do not understand that this so-called notarized agreement has no legal effect at all and is just for peace of mind.
"Shumei! Are you really planning to marry Tang Boyi?"
As they were walking, Wu Ju suddenly said this.
"Ah?" Shumei was a little caught off guard. "Yes! Mother."
"Have you set a date?"
"Not yet, but soon."
"So after you get married, you're going to move into his new house?"
"I think so! He has already given me the key to the house."
Although it was dark and windy and Wu Ju couldn't see the expression on Shumei's face, she could feel the happiness in her voice.
Wow, I really can’t wait!
She still lived in the shabby house with mud walls and tiles, while Shumei could move into the new building immediately. She felt so unbalanced and envious.
"Oh! You're really enjoying yourself! You don't know, when it rains in that house, there's no place to step. Living in this wet room for so long, I've developed rheumatism. This backache is more accurate than the weather forecast; it'll show up in advance when it rains."
Wu Ju sighed deeply, and continued walking forward while muttering something to herself.
How could Shumei not know her intention? She just wanted to move into Boyi's house with her. But it was Boyi's house after all, and she already owed Boyi so much, so how could she bring herself to ask for such a thing?
"Mother, I'll have the roof repaired tomorrow and make sure it doesn't leak anymore."
Shumei was helpless and could only come up with this excuse to cover up.
When Wu Ju heard this, she felt even more dissatisfied.
Very good, very good! You keep saying you want to honor me, but what's the result? You just want to move to a more comfortable place with you! And you're pretending to be confused.
"Don't play dumb. Who told you to fix the house? Is what I'm saying so hard to understand? Well, I'm old enough now to go out and make my own way. I'll help you look after Ningning. Wherever Ningning is, I'll be there. You can do whatever you want."
Wu Ju directly used Xiao Shuangning to threaten Shumei. She understood that the house belonged to Tang Boyi after all, and Shumei could not blindly take her over without Tang Boyi's consent.
But with Xiao Shuangning, it was different. Xiao Shuangning was Shumei's lifeblood. She believed that in order to be with Xiao Shuangning, Shumei would also try to persuade Tang Boyi.
“This—this—”
Shumei wanted to refute, but she couldn't find a suitable reason, so she could only swallow her bitterness.
Seeing that Shumei no longer objected, Wu Ju's frown relaxed and she walked home triumphantly.
Shumei followed Wu Ju closely. Although she was a little unhappy about Wu Ju's difficulties, all her unhappiness disappeared when she thought that she would soon be able to live with Boyi legitimately.
The Fu family next door was very quiet, and there was no sign of a funeral. There were no drummers or musicians, no mourning room, no funeral hall decorations, no incense, candles, money, or paper money.
Fu Jun went out for a stroll as usual, eating and drinking, and the things he bought were all bright red things. It didn't seem like there was a funeral at home, but rather a happy event.
He always has a cheerful smile on his face and greets everyone he meets.
The villagers shook their heads at his abnormal behavior and talked about it behind his back.
Mother Fu asked someone to find an auspicious date and bought a cypress coffin. She did not prepare a funeral banquet for her. She just looked forward to the burial day so that Xiaomei could be buried in peace as soon as possible and they would not be haunted by nightmares every night.
A thin coffin and a set of shroud, this is what the Fu family prepared for Xiaomei.
When Xiaomei's family heard the bad news, they rushed to Fu's house as fast as they could.
